Has it ever been said why Polaris 10 is more powerful than Polaris 11 while having a lower number?

Raja already answered this and it had nothing to do with magnitude.
"The naming scheme of Polaris (10, 11…) has no equation, it’s just “a sequence of numbers” and we should only expect it to increase going forward. The next Polaris chip will be bigger than 11, that’s the secret he gave us."

I highly doubt the XBone One will be using higher binned 480s. It will almost certainly be a very large and updated APU.

Doubtful. I'd wager the cost of an APU of that size would be pretty hefty due to terrible yields. Probably going to use the functional Zen APU'chips that didn't pass desktop specs, downclock them and xfire them with some Polaris 10 GPU's (more spare chips of that lying around in a year than the yet-to-go-into production of Zen based APU's.

The Jaguar (likely Puma now) cores are very small, and a ~2400 shader 14nm GCN core isn't particularly huge either. It'll probably be the same size as the existing 768 shader 28nm APU in the xbox one.
